What to expect from your interior designer…

When most people think about an interior designer, they zero in on aesthetics. But that’s just scratching the surface. These pros go beyond cosmetic concerns to ensure that a space feels harmonious through and through, from its floor plan to the last nailhead.

A designer plans and outf its spaces in a way that makes them both beautiful and functional. He or she balances aesthetic considerations with structural planning to reflect the clients’ lifestyle, set the desired mood, complement the home’s architectural features, and ensure that less glamorous details (like electrical outlets) fit into the scheme. An interior designer also cultivates relationships with trusted artisans, vendors and tradespeople.
